Is it me or do I need more?

I purchased a new microphone off amazon. Nothing high quality, but based off the youtube reviews, recommendations for my price range, and amazon reviews - it seems like a solid mic.

However, I tried tuning this mic for OBS and I still sound so WEIRD. Either distorted, echoy, or its picking up my mouse/keyboard. I'm thinking about switching it to XLR or maybe I have it plugged into the wrong spot on my PC?

I've tried tuning it myself, following others tuning, still no luck.

I've never used XLR or gotten crazy deep in the audio world to really understand what I'm doing.

would it make a difference?

Audio Editing question

0 Upvotes

Is there anyway to edit a low quality video/audio clip and remove loud static noise without completely removing all background noise?

I've got a video that I recorded by complete accident on a cheap Motorola phone while I was asleep, and I'm almost certain I hear my fiance and my cousin doing inappropriate things in the other room.

I can hear certain sounds clearly but theres a lot of loud background noise happening that's preventing me from having clear audio of them whispering.

In order for me to figure out how to approach this appropriately I need to know if I'm hearing what I think I'm hearing.

It will not be used as evidence in court or anything of the sort.

Please help me.

Thank you.

Why does a condenser pick up more background noise than a dynamic?

0 Upvotes

I’ve watched the Julian Krause video and read numerous Reddit posts explaining that there’s technically no difference in rejection between a condenser and dynamic mic

But why does my NT1 pick up my keyboard way more audibly than my SM57? They both have cardioid polar patterns, the mics are setup in the same relative position and direction, I’m staying the same distance away from both, I’m equating the gain such that my voice is the same level across both mics.

It’s night and day how much louder background noises get picked up by the NT1…

What am I missing?

What is this noise my condenser microphones are picking up? Is it RF, and if so, what can I do?

What do you guys think this noise is?

Been getting this “whooshing” noise in two of my condenser microphones recently (flea47, u87ai)

When it started with my 47, I thought it was either a failing tube or a dirty capsule. But I swapped out the tube, and the mic is only a year old. My tech says it’s fine. I then also noticed it in my u87ai which I started using when I thought it was an issue specific to my 47.

Could it be RF? My area is notorious for it, but usually I just pick up straight broadcasting rather than generic noise. I’m using a radial power-1 power conditioner (could upgrading this help?) and shielded mogami XLRs, and the noise continues when i move rooms and use my laptop powered Scarlett 2i2 instead of my rack apollo/preamp/compressor setup.

Any advice? Could this be something else?

Thanks

New to the hobby and looking for a home audio system to listen to music in my open concept living room.

1 Upvotes

I’m building my house and my living area is 200 sq ft, as mentioned, the house is open concept and my kitchen, dining and living area aren’t separated by walls (total 558 sq ft). I’m looking for something that will be better suited to music, Budget is around 2500. I can bump that to 3000 if need be but anything over that would be difficult. Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks.

I need a recommendation

2 Upvotes

So to be fair I don’t know if what I’m looking for exists exactly. From chat gpt it’s called a mixer. Basically I want a dac of some kind I can use on pc and plug headset / iems into and mix both the inputs of my pc and Bluetooth from my phone. The reason I’m here is because ChatGPT was giving me only mixers for professional use that are huge and I’m wanting something that can sit on my desk.

If you know exactly what’s these would be called that would be great or just a recommendation :)

Revel M126be or revel F226be ?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello !

I'm moving in my new flat and i'm hesitating which one should be the best for this listening room from the pics,

Speakers would be placed in front of the sofa and i would mainly listen them from my sofa,

On the top of the picture is a sliding door, at the bottom the kitchen.

These revel speakers are the only options i consider, as i compared many speakers and already heard revel m126be.

Would you rather take the revel m126be or revel f226be ? What would be pros and cons ?

I'm asking because i can afford each of these speakers.

I could also add one or two sub (may be svs micro 3000r evo)

They would be paired with mini dsp flex and audiophonics mpa-s250ncx amp.

Thanks a lot for all your advices ! 🙂

My headphones microphone won’t connect :(

Even if I click on « connect » it just won’t.
I don’t understand why, my AirPods microphone works on there and the sound does come out from the headphones 🤷‍♀️

I tried disconnecting it, disconnecting everything, didn’t work.

My headphones are Playstation PULSE 3D™ that are connected with a jack outlet 😓

Problems with condenser mic and interface

1 Upvotes

I recently purchased a fender quantum lt-2 and a rode nt-1. I set up the fender application and plugged in my mic, but it only works for 30 seconds to a min until it slowly gets quieter and eventually it stops working, everything is completely brand new same with the XLR cable. It’s plugged into the usb c port which should be enough power (I’ve tried every port). I’ve tried looking it up and no matter what I try it just keeps fizzling out. It’s been a week and nothing has worked for me, I could just be stupid and maybe missing something in the fender control panel but i really don’t know. The only way I can get it to work for 30 seconds is by turning off and on the phantom power if that helps diagnose the problem. If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.
